Bike

17 Miles - 13.5mph

3 - One minute spinups

Got back on the bike today and added a few spinups and increased my distance to 1/2 my previous long distance.  Over the next three weeks I'm going to be adding 10% to each ride and working in spinup and powerup drills to these rides to get me back in shape for the Hill Country.  I'm taking a beating from the guys here at work that want me riding full distances tomorrow.  I'm going to play it safe and work my way up since I had so much trouble with my IT band earlier this year.

Walk

2 Miles - 38 minutes

Easy walk to keep my body moving and preping to start my runs next week.  Will be on the bike tomorrow.

Word of advice to everyone. Taking 3 months off is not a good idea. I'm only 3 rides into my return to fitness and I'm pretty sure I've lost at least 3/4 of cardio/strength etc. If I could do it over again I would have suffered through the heat. It was 94 during my ride and it didn't feel bad as long as I kept moving.

Still not running miles just walking. I'll be kicking up the pace on Monday. I've been keeping up with my diet and staying under my calorie goals and eating more fruits,vegetables,nuts and only had red meat once this week. I've been rewarded with a little over 7#s of loss. We'll see what next week holds for us. Tomorrow I'll be riding an easy 15 with a friend who is also getting back to the bike after a long time off.

14 miles -14.88mph

Getting faster. I'm starting to feel a little better on the bike. It'll be a few more weeks before I'm comfortable. The seat still feels like a 2x4. Hope that improves soon.
